The editors didn't like
Mediocre TN display
Viewing angle dependent and moderately bright screen
No doubt the HP EliteBook 820 will appeal to those who appreciate an Ultrabook with upgradable internals and a removable battery. Once staples of the laptop world, these useful features have largely gone away with the drive toward thinner and lighter Ultr...
Excellent casing quality, Premium input devices, UMTS/HSPA+ module, Easy maintenance, High application performance, Low noise and temperature development, Long battery runtime
Viewing angle dependent and moderately bright screen, No CPU Turbo in battery mode, Weak speakers, High price level
So far, so good - if it were not for the screen. Its extreme viewing angle dependency, poor color reproduction, and middling brightness let us ask whether this is necessary in a laptop from this price range. Lenovo and Dell both offer optional Full HD dis...
All in all I am quite happy with my experience with the Elitebook 820. I have been using the notebook for quite a while now and have begun to really enjoy using the notebook for everyday usage. Some other reviews claim that this Elitebook doesn't offer th...
Abstract: Lisa Gade reviews the HP EliteBook 820, a 12.5″ business laptop with Intel 4th generation Haswell CPUs. The 2.94 lb. is very stylish, with a magnesium lid, tapered sides yet it's MIL Spec durable. It's available with Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 ULV CPUs, Int...
Haswell, Sturdy and tested to military specs, Excellent keyboard, Double trackpad buttons for flexibility, Chassis opens easily for servicing
Needs larger battery for 12 hour life, Smartcard or DisplayPort but not both, Security options can be annoying, No touchscreen option, Lots of options so check the spec you order
HP isn't going to win a style prize for the EliteBook 820 G1, especially compared to sleek-looking hybrid notebooks from Lenovo or the VaporMag-coated Surface Pro 2. But for the business user, a laptop with all the ports you need that can keep going on th...

There are some very nice touches on the HP EliteBook 820 G1, especially the way it fits an Ethernet port into something much thinner than many business travellers are used to. This isn't the brick you'd expect from a business-class notebook. The design i...
Looks low-budget, Poor quality 1366x768 display, Lackluster battery life, Not a good value
The HP Elitebook 820 is a needed departure from the company's tradition. Though fans of older systems may balk at the new notebook's plastic chassis, the new design is lighter, thinner and less expensive, all of which are positive traits. And, like most...
It's a shame that the EliteBook doesn't include a solid-state drive that can really make the most of its powerful processor and GPU, but this is still a well-designed and versatile laptop that will appeal to many business users. The high-quality display i...
Portable; Extensive upgradeability; Great input; Reasonable performance; Wealth of connectivity
Poor battery life; Disappointing display
A solid laptop, which delivers solid performance. The upgradeability will help to extend the life of the product, and the only letdown is the battery life....
